Deja vu at Carrington

Ruben Amorim's stunning rebuke of Marcus Rashford after last night's win at Fulham has echoes of the fall-out between Erik ten Hag and Jadon Sancho.

Unlike Sancho, who responded on social media when Ten Hag publicly criticised his performances in training to reject the former Manchester United manager's assessment, Rashford has remained silent.

Nevertheless, in stating he would prefer to pick his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach Jorge Vital than someone who does not put maximum effort into his profession, Amorim has created a problem.

Rashford is one of United's highest-earning players. The club do not want to be in a situation, as they ended up with Sancho, where they were paying him to do nothing for half a season before he joined Borussia Dortmund on loan.

United will have to subsidise wages but suddenly, player and club might need to look at options they weren't considering even last week.

But also, Rashford will be looking closely to see if he is being singled out, which was Sancho's gripe.

If he really is the only player performing badly, he has to deal with that. If he isn't, he might be questioning why Amorim is just talking about him.
